Epic!

Could Dragonball Z seriously have been this addictive if you filter out all the damn filler? Although the best part of the series is much later on, it's a pretty good sign that it's already this great early on. How the Saiyans introduced the Saibaman and have them fight one on one with the "Z Warriors" was a good way to manipulate the atmosphere. The Saiyans were introduced as these super warriors who seem almost invincible, and here we have Tien who easily annihilates one of their warriors. Yamcha gets his fair share of easy pickings himself, giving us the viewers that sense that the Earth Warriors have a chance perhaps even without Goku, but then Yamcha is killed. Awesome awesome episode; only complaint is that the music board, which is something that will probably never improve, could be better.moreless

TRIVIA (2)

Goof: While Puar and Bulma are crying because of Yamcha's death, you can see the camera continue panning and showing Chi-Chi lying on a sick bed behind Bulma. In the original series, Chi-Chi confirms Gohan is alright and faints. This is not shown in the remake, which is confusing to the new fans to wonder what happened to Chi-Chi in this particular situation.

Goof: This episode is the first of the Kai series to display some newly animated scenes during the next-episode-preview, whereas previous episodes would merely show animated material as-is, keeping the re-animated material for the next episode. However, with that said, it seems that there is a downside to having re-animated footage revealed before its actual episode airing.

The preview shows a brief shot of Tenshinhan firing his Kikoho blast. In that brief moment, however, you can see a checker-box effect where his blast is supposed to be flashing. Apparently, someone forgot to change one of the animation layers back to visible in their editing program while working on this particular scene, resulting in a major, yet only briefly visible mistake.
